Detective First Grade Daniel Fitzgerald "Danny" Reagan is the eldest son of Commissioner Frank Reagan. He is portrayed by Donnie Wahlberg.
Biography
The oldest son of the current New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan and his wife Mary, Danny grew up in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn with a younger sister, Erin, and two younger brothers, Joe and Jamie. He has been happily married to Linda since 1996, and they have two sons, Jack (b. 2001) and Sean (b. 2004). They live on Staten Island. During high school, he dated Marianne Romano (Charisma Carpenter), who was described by his partner Baez as "the queen bee, super good looking, a little crazy, and dynamite in the sack" to which he agreed.[1] As a young man, Danny worked construction.
For a class project of Nicky's, Danny mentioned that when he was three years old, he wanted to be a firefighter for Halloween, but his grandfather Henry swore that as long as he was alive, no Reagan would ever be a member of the FDNY, got him into a police uniform, and he "never took it off" until he made Detective.[2]
On the job for 15 years (as of season 1), Danny took a leave of absence from the New York City Police Department to serve two tours in the Iraq War as a Marine. Danny saw combat in Fallujah, and was the only member of his platoon to come home alive (resulting in some post-traumatic stress).[3] During his time in the Marines, Danny was decorated for heroism.
He is old-school; his hotheadedness and harsh methods of detective work sometimes get him in trouble, which his father worries about. When asked if his son "crosses the line" and violates procedure from time to time, Frank answered, "I think he walks on the line".[4] Danny is hard on other policemen and detectives when he feels they are unprofessional or not doing their duty to its utmost. He is currently assigned to the Detective Squad of the 54th Precinct, and partnered with Detective Maria Baez. In "Most Wanted", it is mentioned that he leads the Manhattan South Detective Borough in both collars and complaints.[5] In "Love Stories", he and Baez are awarded the NYPD Medal for Valor for their actions in "Partners".
As a detective with the NYPD, Danny carries a Kahr K9 in 9×19mm as his duty weapon, and drives a Dodge Charger on duty. He also owns a Glock 19 in 9×19mm, and previously used a Smith & Wesson 5946 in 9×19mm. He and his wife, Linda, shared a Jeep Grand Cherokee as their personal vehicle, until Henry lost his driver's license and gave Linda his car.
Partners
Over his career, Danny has had numerous partners.
- Detective Darryl Reid (Malik Yoba)[6] – Partnered together for "eight months seven years ago" (c. 2008), Reid's career came to an end (and put Danny's in jeopardy) when it was revealed that he planted evidence to secure a murder conviction.
- Detective DeMarcus King (Flex Alexander)[7]
- Detective Ava Hotchkiss (Yvonna Kopacz Wright)[8] – First partner of Danny's when he was assigned to Major Crimes.
- Detective First Grade Jackie Curatola (Jennifer Esposito)[9] – From 2010 until 2012, Danny was primarily partnered with Detective Jackie Curatola at the 54th Precinct. In 2012, Jackie took early retirement from the NYPD after starting to show signs of burning out.[10]
- Detective Kate Lansing (Megan Ketch)[10] – Assigned to replace Detective Curatola in 2012, Detective Kate Lansing worked with Danny for almost three months. She transferred back to Internal Affairs after the arrest of Captain Derek Elwood (Nestor Serrano), who framed Danny for possession of narcotics in order to prevent him from discovering his gambling problem.[11]
- Detective Candice "Mac" McElroy (Megan Boone)[12] – A temporary addition to the 54th Precinct, Detective Candice McElroy briefly served as Danny's partner in 2013.
- Detective First Grade Maria Baez (Marisa Ramirez)[13] – Danny's partner since 2013. Previously spent three years with the Joint Bank Robbery Task Force until it was disbanded in 2011.

Assistant District Attorney Erin Reagan is Frank Reagan's sole daughter. She is portrayed by Bridget Moynahan.
Biography
A New York County Assistant District Attorney and single mother, Erin is the second child and only daughter of the current New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan and his wife Mary. She grew up in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn with three brothers, Danny, Joe, and Jamie. It is implied throughout the series that she had something of a wild streak growing up (unlike her daughter). In season 5, it is mentioned that she graduated top of her class from Columbia Law School. In season 6, Erin celebrated her 40th birthday.[14]
She is divorced from Jack Boyle, a criminal defense attorney. In "Old Wounds", she finally changes her name from Erin Reagan-Boyle back to Erin Reagan.[15] Since her divorce, Erin has had a few romantic interests. She and her boss, District Attorney Charles Rosselini (Bobby Cannavale), flirted with each other and even shared a kiss after a date, but nothing ever came of it mainly due to Erin's reluctance with the idea of dating her boss. In 2011, she met Jacob Krystal (Fred Weller) at an art gallery; she later learned that he was an art thief who returned once-stolen works to their rightful owners and he left town. In 2013, after being shot in a courtroom hostage situation, she started up a fling with her ex-husband Jack, but broke up when they started getting serious again (lest he break her heart again, or their daughter find out that they were once again "hooking up"). In 2014, she met Robert McCoy, a defense attorney, on a speed-date, and the two became romantically involved until he was appointed interim District Attorney, at which point she said she can't sleep with her boss.
Erin is almost raped and killed in "Re-Do", though Frank saves her life by shooting her attacker dead.[16] In "To Protect and Serve", Erin is taken hostage and shot in the arm at the courthouse. She is saved by Danny after he says a coded message, "Please, don't hurt my family," after which she dropped to the ground and Danny shot her assailant. It is revealed that their father taught them this when they were young, as a plan in case one of them was ever held at gunpoint.[17]
In "Working Girls", Erin is offered the position of Deputy Mayor of Operations by Mayor Poole, but she turns him down.[18] In "Ends and Means", Erin is promoted from Senior Counsel to Deputy Bureau Chief of the Trial Bureau.[19] In the season four finale, she filed a complaint against her boss, Bureau Chief Amanda Harris, upon learning she had abused her power.[20]
Like the rest of her family, Erin is licensed to carry a firearm. Her weapon of choice is the Glock 19 in 9×19mm and, according to Frank, she's a better shooter than Danny and Jamie.[21]

Officer Jamison "Jamie" Reagan is the youngest son of Frank Reagan. He is portrayed by Will Estes.
Biography
A young police officer and recent Harvard Law School graduate, Jamie is the youngest child of the current New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan and his wife Mary. Jamie grew up in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn with two older brothers, Danny and Joe, and an older sister, Erin. His shield number is 60548.
He is stationed at the 12th Precinct, and is partnered with Sgt. Anthony Renzulli (his training officer) in seasons one and two, Officer Vinny Cruz in season three, and Officer Eddie Janko since season four. During his first year on the job, Jamie was the one who continued Joe Reagan's investigation into the Blue Templar. In season two, he takes advantage of a chance opportunity to go undercover in the Sanfino crime family. In "Front Page News", Jamie gets his first kill in what he learns is a suicide by cop; the shooting leaves him with brief post-shooting trauma (moreso since Bryant's death was found to be a suicide-by-cop), but between his family and the NYPD psychologist (Annabella Sciorra), he quickly recovers. In season four, he begins to express concerns because both his father and brother had made detective by that point in their careers, while he is still a patrol officer. In season six, Jamie is studying for and is considering taking the Sergeant's exam.
While attending Harvard, Jamie met and became involved with Sydney Davenport. The two even got engaged, but Sydney broke up with him a few months after he became a police officer.
Since 2013, there has been significant romantic tension between Jamie and his patrol partner, Eddie Janko, the two even sharing a kiss, but Jamie has chosen not to act on his feelings after learning that Sergeant Renzulli would reassign them to new road partners if they did. Despite Jamie backing off, Eddie shows occasional signs that she still has romantic feelings for him.
As a uniformed patrol officer, Jamie drives a patrol car on duty and carries a Glock 19 in 9×19mm as his duty weapon; while in plainclothes, Jamie uses the smaller Glock 26 in 9×19mm.[22] While off-duty, Jamie drove his brother Joe's 1971 Chevy Chevelle Malibu SS until it was sabotaged and totaled by the Blue Templar.[23]
Partners
Over his career, Jamie has had a few partners.
- Sergeant Anthony "Tony" Renzulli (Nicholas Turturro)[7] – Jamie's training officer, Sgt. Renzulli knows the beat of his precinct very well and often offers Jamie good advice when he needs it. He believes Jamie will make a great cop, and often pokes fun at him for abandoning a lucrative law career.
- Officer Vincent "Vinny" Cruz (Sebastian Sozzi)[24] – Jamie's partner who grew up in the Bitterman housing projects neighborhood of New York City. In "The Bitter End", Cruz and Jamie are patrolling near the Bitterman Houses and come across a purse snatcher who leads them on a chase through the project. The purse snatching proves to be a setup, and both officers find themselves under fire from Los Lourdes gang members. Cruz is hit twice in the neck and despite Jamie's best efforts, he dies at the scene from massive internal bleeding.[25]
- Officer Edit "Eddie" Janko (Vanessa Ray)[26] – A younger police officer and Jamie's current partner. Feisty and strongly opinionated, she is very passionate when it comes to her job. As of late, her latent romantic feelings for Jamie have become more apparent.
Henry Reagan
Former Commissioner Henry Reagan is Frank Reagan's father. He is portrayed by Len Cariou.
Biography
The retired Police Commissioner and father of Frank (grandfather of Danny, Erin, Joe and Jamie; great-grandfather of Nicky, Sean, and Jack). His childhood during the 1920s and 1930s was hard due to his father, Charles, an Irish immigrant, World War I veteran and former police officer, being an alcoholic and unable to hold a job. Henry was a Marine in World War II and Korea, and joined the NYPD in 1952. Like his grandson Danny, Henry is socially conservative and hates the political correctness of modern law and order. His wife of 46 years, Betty, died December 2, 2001. It is later revealed that Henry and Betty had another son, Peter Christopher, who died of leukemia at the age of 18 months, over a year before Frank was born.
In "Bad Blood", it was revealed that he once rode with one of the first female patrol officers, Colleen McGuire (Anita Gillette). Henry admitted that they both had romantic feelings for each other, but never acted on them since he was married. He had his boss re-assign Colleen to a different partner to avoid putting his marriage at further risk, but remained good friends with her.[27]
In "Stomping Grounds", it was mentioned that Henry, during his days as a Detective with the Vice Squad, transferred out of the unit when he started to see every woman on the street as a hooker.[28]
In "Town Without Pity", Henry mentioned that during the New York City blackout of 1977 he was stationed in the South Bronx.[29]

In seasons one and two, she is a stay-at-home mom, but she returns to her nursing job at St. Victor's Medical Center in season three.[24]
She has an older sister, Wendy (Laurie Williams), and a niece, Sofie, who is a fashion model.[30]

Recurring characters
Associates of Frank
Frank Russo/Robert Levitt
The Mayor of New York City who appointed Frank Reagan to the position of New York City Police Commissioner.[7] He lost the 2011 election to Carter Poole (David Ramsey), who succeeded him as Mayor. While he is credited as the character "Frank Russo" in Season 1, his name is never actually mentioned. He makes a return appearance in Season 3 when his daughter is arrested by Jamie and Vinny for smoking pot. Here, his character is introduced as "Former Mayor Robert Levitt". He is portrayed by Bruce Altman.
Carter Poole
Elected to the position of Mayor of New York City in 2011,[36] Carter Poole and Frank butt heads on occasion, but the two have a mutual respect for each other that Poole says went back to his childhood when Frank was a beat cop in his neighborhood and used to look out for the children. In "Parenthood", it is mentioned that he attended Yale University and that he has an illegitimate daughter who does not know about him, aside from the fact that he is the mayor.[37] In "This Way Out", he's shot in an assassination attempt during a town hall meeting by a mentally-challenged teenager who was tricked by a member of the Los Lordes gang operating out of the Bitterman Housing Projects.[38] The shooting leaves the mayor paralyzed from the waist down, confining him to a wheelchair, but does not prevent him from discharging his duties as Mayor.[39] In 2015, he is reelected for another term as Mayor.[40] He is portrayed by David Ramsey.
Abigail Baker
Detective 1st Grade Abigail Baker is a member of the Police Commissioner's (Detective) Squad who serves as Frank's primary aide. In "Manhattan Queens", Baker was harassed by Suffolk County Police Department Deputy Chief Sam DeLuca, who had a romantic interest in her. In the same episode it is revealed that she is from Ocean Bay Park and her parents still live there. She speaks fluent Japanese.[41] She is portrayed by Abigail Hawk.
Garrett Moore
The NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Public Information, who becomes Frank's de facto chief of staff. Before becoming Frank's DCPI, Garrett was a reporter. He has been married and divorced three times, and has a stepson, whom he has tried to keep out of trouble. Garrett and Frank have a rather complex relationship; for example, Frank often expresses dismay when Garrett comes in to his office unannounced but also seemingly values his perspective. Furthermore, many episodes depict the two debating an issue regarding what information should or should not be released to the public. In "Nightmares", a woman in Atlantic City, New Jersey accused him of rape, but the allegations were proven to be false when it was revealed that the woman in question was a prostitute who slept with rich married men and then blackmailed them.[10] He is portrayed by Gregory Jbara.
Dino Arbogast
Formerly the Organized Crime Control Bureau Chief,[42] Dino Arbogast was promoted to Chief of Department (the highest-ranking uniformed police officer) by Frank after the retirement of the previous Chief, Ed Hines.[26] Dino maintains this role for season 4, until the finale, when he's forced to resign after being caught on video committing lewd acts with an escort hired by a recently deceased brothel madam, and lying about it, and benching Danny in an attempt to keep the act from being discovered.[20] He is portrayed by John Ventimiglia.
Kelly Peterson
The newly appointed Inspector General of the NYPD,[43] Kelly Peterson is a former member of the Essex County Prosecutor's Office in New Jersey. In the season 4 finale, Peterson tells Commissioner Reagan about her intent to resign, after finding that she doesn't have enough "professional animosity" toward the NYPD due to becoming too close to Frank.[20] She is portrayed by Bebe Neuwirth.
Sidney Gormley
The Supervisor of the 54th Precinct's Detective Squad, Sergeant Sidney Gormley was Danny's boss for over four years. He was frequently exasperated by his subordinate. He lives in New Hyde Park with his wife, Sheila, and, according to the certificate in his office, is a graduate of New York University. In "Flags of Our Fathers", Gormley mentions that he is a veteran, and that he lost a grandfather and two uncles in the service.[6]
In 2014, Gormley is reassigned by Frank to One Police Plaza and appointed as Dino's replacement as Chief of Department. However, due to Gormley not being high enough in rank to be eligible for Chief of Department (who must be at least a captain or higher), he is given the job title "Special Assistant to the Commissioner," which gives him the authorities of the Chief of Department though not the pay grade or privileges. In this capacity, Gormley acts as Frank's liaison to the rank and file.[44] In 2015, Sgt. Gormley was promoted to Lieutenant.[45] He is portrayed by Robert Clohessy.
Senior NYPD officers
- First Deputy Commissioner Vincenzo, NYPD – Frank's 2nd-in-Command; he was considered for the position of New York City Police Commissioner, but the Mayor ultimately appointed Frank to the position.[32] He is portrayed by John Bedford Lloyd.
- Chief of Department & former Chief of Detectives Ed Hines, NYPD (Ret. 2013) — The highest-ranking uniformed police officer; he is portrayed by John Rue.[46][47]
- Bureau Chief Bryce Helfond, NYPD – The NYPD Chief of Intelligence; he is portrayed by Victor Slezak
- Deputy Chief Donald "Don" Kent – The Chief of the NYPD Gang Division and a longtime friend of Frank; the day he was promoted to Assistant Chief, he and Maggie, his wife of 30 years, were killed in a drive-by the Warrior Kings gang.[48] He was portrayed by Dennis Haysbert.
Associates of Danny
Jackie Curatola
Detective 1st Grade Jackie Curatola was Danny's previous partner; she is divorced and is regularly the recipient of passes or ogling from her uniformed colleagues and perps alike, much to her annoyance. In 2012, Jackie took early retirement from the NYPD after starting to show signs of burning out.[10] She is portrayed by Jennifer Esposito.
As a detective with the NYPD, Jackie carried a Glock 19 in 9×19mm as her duty weapon.
Kate Lansing
Assigned to replace Detective Curatola in 2012, Detective Kate Lansing worked with Danny for almost three months. She transferred back to Internal Affairs after the arrest of Captain Derek Elwood (Nestor Serrano), who framed Danny for possession of narcotics in order to prevent him from discovering his gambling problem.[11] She is portrayed by Megan Ketch.
Maria Baez
Danny's partner since 2013, Detective 1st Grade Maria Baez previously spent three years with the NYPD's Joint Bank Robbery Task Force until it was disbanded in 2011. In "Bad Blood", it is revealed that she has an older brother, Javier (Kirk Acevedo), who is a recovering drug addict,[27] and her mother, Carmen Baez (Saundra Santiago), and her sister, Ana Baez (Liza Colón-Zayas), are introduced in "Stomping Grounds".[28] Before transferring to the 54th Precinct, Maria fell hard for Detective Jimmy Mosely (Johnathon Schaech), but their relationship fizzled out when he refused to leave his wife for her.[49]
In "Partners", Javier revealed that he is an informant for the DEA against a drug cartel; he dies saving Maria's life in a raid on that cartel.[50] In "Love Stories", she and Danny are awarded the NYPD Medal for Valor for their actions in "Partners". She is portrayed by Marisa Ramirez.
Dee Ann Carver
The new Commander of the 54th Precinct's Detective Squad, Lieutenant Dee Ann Carver is Danny's strict, by-the-book boss who took over after Sgt. Gormley was transferred to 1PP.[5] She is portrayed by LaTanya Richardson Jackson.
Associates of Erin
Jack Boyle
Erin's ex-husband and Nicky's father, Jack Boyle is a formidable defense attorney. Due to his actions after the divorce (including moving away and not keeping in contact with his daughter), Jack is not very well liked by the adults in the Reagan family (although his nephews, Jack and Sean, are both excited to see him when he returns to New York).[15] When Danny was framed for narcotics possession, Henry hired Jack as his attorney.[11]
Jack and Erin briefly got back together after surviving a courtroom hostage crisis,[17] but Erin ended it when they started getting serious again (lest he break her heart again, or their daughter find out that they were once again "hooking up").
Jack is portrayed by Peter Hermann.
Charles Rosselini
Erin's boss in the first season, Charles Rosselini is the New York County District Attorney with aspirations of higher office. He is portrayed by Bobby Cannavale.
Amanda Harris
The Bureau Chief of the Manhattan District Attorney's Trial Bureau, Amanda Harris promoted Erin to Deputy Bureau Chief.[19] She almost fires Erin after she calls her out on violating Brady Rules by not providing the prosecution with video footage that may have exonerated a previous rape suspect; Harris ends up keeping Erin, saying that she needs someone like her to keep her in check. Regardless of this, Harris is eventually arrested after Erin finds out that she has a long-standing deal with a recently deceased high profile madam who has her people seduce high profile New Yorkers of major influence – like high-level cops, politicians, pro athletes, and various celebrities – and get them on tape in order to guarantee their assistance whenever she needs it. (Whether this assistance is solely for cases or possibly for darker, personal reasons is left open to speculation.)[20] She is portrayed by Amy Morton.
Robert McCoy
A defense attorney Erin met on a speed-date. He was an Assistant District Attorney in Brooklyn for twelve years before leaving to join private practice in 2008.[51] After Bureau Chief Amanda Harris was fired, McCoy was appointed the interim New York County District Attorney. This caused Erin to break off their relationship, saying she can't sleep with her boss.[52] He is portrayed by Holt McCallany.
As the interim DA, McCoy came into conflict with Commissioner Reagan when he announced that the DA's office did not plan on prosecuting petty marijuana possession charges.[53]
Alex McBride
A member of the DA's Investigations Unit who assists Erin with her cases. He is portrayed by James Lesure. In 1995, McBride's mother was murdered in an unsolved robbery. When Erin finds the case in a cold-case pile, she runs DNA found at the scene, which reveals what McBride already suspected but was afraid to confirm…that his father had been responsible.[54]
Anthony Abetemarco
A Detective for the DA's Investigations Unit who assists Erin with her cases. In "Friends in Need" it is revealed his cousin is Joey Ruscoli (Anthony DeSando) and his aunt is Sophia Ruscoli (Catherine Wolf). In "Good Cop Bad Cop" it is revealed that his mother is Lucille Abetemarco (Suzanne Shepherd). He is portrayed by Steve Schirripa.
Associates of Jamie
Anthony Renzulli
Jamie's first partner and Training Officer, Sergeant Tony Renzulli knows the beat of his precinct very well and often offers Jamie good advice when he needs it. He believes Jamie will make a great cop, and often pokes fun at him for abandoning a lucrative law career. He was also the Training Officer for Joe. In season 3, he moves to an apparent desk job managing the patrolmen of the 12th Precinct. He is married, and has a side job painting to make extra money; he is also a gambler, but quit after Frank bailed him out of a $3,000 debt (with it made clear that this is a one-time offer). He is portrayed by Nicholas Turturro.
As a uniformed patrol supervisor, Sgt. Renzulli drives a patrol car on duty and carries a Glock 19 in 9×19mm as his duty weapon.
Vinny Cruz
Vinny, shield number 59910, is Jamie's partner in season 3. He's a child of the Bittarman housing projects in Brooklyn. In "The Bitter End", he is killed when he and Jamie are lured by a purse snatcher into the Bitterman projects, and Vinny is shot by a sniper on a rooftop.[25] He is posthumously promoted to Detective 1st Grade.[38] He was portrayed by Sebastian Sozzi.
As a uniformed patrol officer, Vinny drove a patrol car on duty and carried a Glock 19 in 9×19mm as his duty weapon.
Edit Janko
A younger police officer and Jamie's current partner, Officer Edit "Eddie" Janko (pronounced "eh-DEET") is of mixed Hungarian and Serbian descent. Feisty and strongly opinionated, she is very passionate when it comes to her job. She is portrayed by Vanessa Ray.
Eddie's mother immigrated from Serbia and she herself is fluent in the Serbian language, which comes in handy when Danny recruits her to bust a sex trafficking ring.[55] Her father, Armin Janko (William Sadler) was a financial advisor before his company was revealed to be involved in a Ponzi scheme, ruining a lot of good people. As a result, he is serving a prison sentence.
In "The Bullitt Mustang", Eddie is one of several police officers charged with official misconduct by the acting New York County District Attorney for fixing her 90-year-old neighbor's parking tickets; the charges are subsequently dropped after Frank and Erin work out a deal.[14]
In "Back in the Day", Eddie reveals her aspirations of making detective, having signed herself and Jamie up for a surveillance assignment for one of the precinct's detectives. While awaiting their target, Eddie chose to remain at her post when Jamie chose to respond to an officer-down call, which proved to be false. This led to a brief conflict between them, with Jamie threatening to get a new partner if she ever goes against an emergency call again.[56]
There has been significant romantic tension between Eddie and Jamie since the middle of season four, the two even sharing a kiss, but Jamie had chosen not to act on his feelings after learning that Renzulli would reassign them to new partners per NYPD protocol. Nevertheless, Eddie has continued to show signs of romantic feelings for Jamie, which had become much more apparent when they both acknowledged to each other how they feel, leading to another kiss. Despite this, they agreed not to further act on their feelings since they don't wish to jeopardize their partnership.
As a uniformed patrol officer, Eddie drives a patrol car on duty and carries a Glock 19 in 9×19mm as her duty weapon.
Others
Darnell Potter
A loud-mouth preacher who feels it is his duty to protect people of color (particularly those in his neighborhood) from the brutality and racial profiling of the NYPD. In "Excessive Force", when a criminal Danny was pursuing purposely jumped out a window and falsely claimed that Danny pushed him, Potter, seeking to further his own agenda, relocated a young witness and his entire illegal family, and demanded to Commissioner Reagan to have his son take an early retirement. Potter is nearly arrested by Commissioner Reagan for witness tampering, but Frank lets him off with a warning in order for him to save face with his congregation.[44] He is loosely based on Rev. Al Sharpton and is portrayed by Ato Essandoh.
